sometimes
I feel lost
and lonely
like I'm all alone
out there
sometimes
I feel the joy
of the whole world
resonating
within me
sometimes
I feel the burden
of being me
among
others
sometimes
I don't care
what others
think or say
about me
sometimes
I feel to much
and I do care
what others
do and say
to me
sometimes
the world is
a cruel place
to live in
sometimes
I want peace
and quiet
without
fighting
sometimes
I want
belonging
without
outing
sometimes
I wish
sometimes
could be
every time
sometimes
maybe
all of us
could be
a little bit
more inclusive
for all of us
giant lizard
roasting his enemies
stores axes near bridges
— King Koopa
blinking brightly
high on psychedelic mushrooms
dispatching everything
— Mario with Superstar
small dark ball
blinking red, living only
to explode
— Bob-omb
shot from a cannon
flying slowly, and yet
staying aloft
— Bullet Bill
fluffy white ether
shyly hiding if you look
approaches from behind
— Boo
nothing but bones
crumbling at the slightest touch
reassembling every time
— Dry Bones
flying turtle
hovering up and down
serving as bridge
— Koopa Paratroopa
big brother
constantly throwing hammers
defeated by small earthquake
— Hammer Bro
giant chestnut
walking steadily to the left
falling off blocks

protected by its shell

summer came
summer went
all that remains
are warm memories
of sunny days
long lost
… a loss prolonged beyond it’s initial schedule
short lost
… a loss abridged to save time
recently lost
… a loss that freshly happened
found lost
… a loss that was now discovered
just lost
… a loss well deserved
not lost
… a loss that never happened
prematurely lost
… a loss that occurred before it’s time
unlost
… a loss undone
defying death
with riches
born from dust
matured over aeons
wrested from their earthly homes
to be cut
and polished
until they shine
as bright as the stars
